Determine How You Can Remove Gynecomastia For Good

Gynecomastia is caused by an increase in the female hormone estrogen and a decrease in the male hormone testosterone. So if for any reason your body's estrogen levels of elevated continuously for prolonged periods of time (or testosterone is lowered), your body will respond by developing breasts, in just the same way that women develop breasts at puberty.

The hormones estrogen and testosterone are responsible for deciding the sexual qualities of a man vs that of a woman. Normally, an adult male has up to 10 times more testosterone than an adult female. This elevated testosterone (and low estrogen) is what prevents men from developing breasts, and instead gives them extra body hair and muscle mass. Sadly, this hormone balance plays far too big a role in deciding our masculine characteristics than we would like. If either one of these hormones is altered, it can quite easily lead to the development of breasts in men.

Common causes of gynecomastia due to high estrogen/low testosterone include:

AilmentsDrug abuseHormonal influences from your surroundingsNatural imbalances in sex hormones (usually in puberty)In 25% of cases, the cause is unknown

If you want to get rid of your man boobs in the absence of medical drugs or surgery I urge you get a full check-up by your doctor to make sure your man boobs aren't being triggered by some form of internal hormone-altering disease. Sometimes a very small number of guys DO need surgery, and only your doctor will be able to tell if this is the case.

Most cases however, are due to a natural hormonal imbalance. Before going into surgery or even trying medical drugs, those guys whose man boobs are not caused by a medical illness would greatly benefit by first attempting to reduce their gynecomastia through natural avoidance of such environmental triggers. And even if your doctor does say that you need surgery, your best course of action would be to reduce your man boobs FIRST using natural methods.

There are a number of scientific papers that have demonstrated the efficacy of medical treatment for male breast reduction, nevertheless its potency is limited, since you can achieve a perfectly masculine hormonal balance through natural methods alone.

Female sex hormones are rampant in our surroundings these days, with female sex hormones being present in food products in even in drinking water. As if that wasn't enough, estrogen-like particles are commonly present in cosmetic products and are known to be readily absorbed by the skin.
